Nollywod, the
Nigerian film industry is going through many controversies caused by squabbles
and disaffections among stakeholders in the various associations and guilds who
think they are the movers and shakers calling the shots in the industry. In
fact, there are still court cases and grudges in the hearts of many of them. They say that in some cases, many have become dancers and clappers of politicians and some
business moguls; yes there is nothing wrong with deciding who you associate
yourself with only when it turns out the money given to be shared creates
problems among the beneficiaries that it becomes ridiculous
During the
candle light procession for the Late ENEBELI Elebuwa (may his soul rest in
peace), the President of Actors Guild of
Nigeria (AGN) Ibinabo Fiberisima called
for all the troublemakers to stop their
childish and foolish chitty chatty mudslinging, backbiting and antagonistic attacks in the
Nollywood family so that the industry will move to the next level.
Unfortunately some individuals and even heads of associations still sent text
messages to members not to attend very important events such as the annual film
workshops, film festivals, etc; they even went as far as sending wrong signals
to corporate organizations with wrong information not to sponsor very viable
projects that can create good platforms for the development of the Nigerian
film industry. With this reaction from the President of Actors Guild of
Nigeria, the question is “do we still have monkeys in Nollywood?
